Divergent Dance Academy

Chapter 20

Tris' P.O.V

A yawn escapes my mouth as I wake up from a really good sleep. Last nights dinner went pretty well. Mother didn't ask too many questions, Zeke and Uriah were their usual selves and Tobias seemed to enjoy himself.

Soft snores come from the person next to me. I turn over to see Tobias asleep. He must have fallen asleep while we were watching the movie. Tobias looks so young as he sleeps. His face relaxed, lips parted.  Our legs are tangled together and Tobias has his arm wrapped around my waist. His strong hold makes me feel safe. I wish we could just lay here forever, but unfortunately we have school.

"Tobias." I whisper, "Time to wake up." He groans and holds onto me tighter, if that's even possible. "Come on babe, we have to get up."
Finally Tobias let's go of me and sits up. He climbs through my window to get to his.
"See you at school?" He asks.
"Of course!" I kiss him on the cheek and then close the window and blinds.
I quickly get ready for school and head to the kitchen where the boys are.
"Good morning!!" I sing.
"Morning happy Chappy." Zeke grumbles. He's not much of a morning person either.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Uriah chimes in.
"I honestly don't know."
After we finish our conversation I head to my Range Rover. I really want some Starbucks!!

I arrive at school with my Starbucks. I'm really excited because today my whole grade gets a day to just work on our skills as a dancer. Throughout the day we will have some teachers come and evaluate how we're going. Some students worry about this day because it counts a lot to our report cards.

"Hey guys!!" I say when I join the gang in homeroom.
I kiss Tobias on the cheek and then sit next to him.
"What are you guys talking bout?" I ask. Lynn starts talking about today. Zeke, Shauna and Tobias have their day tomorrow as they are in a different grade.
Soon Mr Smith walks into class and starts talking about today, he's just repeating things that we've heard over and over again!

When the bell goes us juniors split up from the seniors. We head to our rooms that we were told. We go into the auditorium. This is gonna be so fun!!
"So should we stretch, go through a couple of warm up dances and then do our own things?" Marlene suggest, which we all agree to.
Lynn starts some music as we stretch. I love stretching, the sort of burning sensation you get.

Once we're all stretched we do one of our old routines.

The routine ⬇️⬇️ (imagine with more people; the first group)

I love that dance. After a bit of messing around we each start doing our own things. I've decided to start we ballet.

***

The bell rings for lunch and I am so glad. My stomach has been making whale noises for at least an hour. We meet up with Zeke, Shauna and Tobias at our usual table after getting ourselves some food.
"How has your mornings been?" Tobias asks.
"Good. We started with an old routine and then just did our own stuff." Will explains. I snuggle into Tobias' side as I eat, he's so warm. The weather has been getting colder, since it's mid October, which sucks. I hate the cold!!
"I think we have one more hour until someone comes and observes us." I say and then continue eating. Hopefully this will shut up the whale inside of me.
For the rest of lunch the gang continue with our usual banter. Tobias and I stay snuggled until the end when the bell goes.
We split up again and go back to the auditorium.

We have Ms Mathews as our marker. Yippee (sarcasm)!!! She goes around the room, leaving me for last. The rest go really well and I'm sure all their report cards will be amazing.
"Ms Pedrad, it's your turn. You will start with ballet."

You do not have to watch all of these, it's sorta just a simple explanation of what she is doing. ⬇️⬇️

As I do what Ms says she walks around me and writes down notes. I enjoy doing this so much. Once I'm finished, Ms Mathews explains a few things to us.

We are now allowed to go home, thank god. The bell should go for everyone in half an hour.
"Do you guys wanna come over?" I ask. They all agree and then I quickly text Tobias, telling him our plans. We head to our cars and drive to mine.

40 minutes later Tobias, Zeke and Shauna arrive.
"Hey guys!" Uriah yells cheerfully. I hug Tobias as everyone sits down in the lounge room. "What should we do?" Zeke asks
"Truth or dare?" We all quickly agree and Christiana starts. She asks Shauna, in which she answers truth. "Have you and Zeke ever done a quickie at school?"
Of course Christina would ask that.
"Maybe...." Shauna answers while red quickly heats up her face. The gang 'oohs' as Zeke smirks. "Tris, truth or dare?"
"Dare!!" I answer, as always. "I dare you to do some of your best dance moves, and yes I know that's a lame dare. But let's just start the game off slow."
Sure!"

We head downstairs to the basement for more room. I put my Spotify playlist on and start with ariels. The feeling of the air that rushes against my body is amazing. It reminds me how much power dance gives me. I finish with a couple of grand jetes. I leap into the air and land.

A scream rips through me and tears fill my eyes as I lay on my back. My breathing is laboured as I try to not hyperventilate. The excruciating pain I feel overwhelms me as the gang surrounds me. Tobias holds my hand and tries to calm me down.
" Tris, calm down. It's probably just a sprain." Mother says, she must have just got home and heard the scream, I roll my eyes. Just a sprain, my ass.
